Hi my name is Rio, i am looking forwed to Greek day it is on friday 1st Febuary 2013. I have to bring to school with me a spear pair of clothes, either white or holiday clothes. I love learning about Greece things because it is really fun.

Lying on the cold, frosty grass lies a key; no ordinary key this key belongs to someone. Could be a spy, could be a….. anyone really! But who? That’s the question. The key looks like an old key belonging to something special, like a treasure chest or a secret diary. Or… THAT’S IT! A box that contains a secret (like a treasure chest and a secret diary). It’s weird though, who and what does this key belong to, why would they have a key like this on its own lying around like this? thats a very big mystery? Who and why?

The cold misty steam pours out as if it is a river. It is surrounded by green rocks and trees; you would think nobody had been there for years and years. There is a mysterious light which reaches out through the trees as if it were trying to find something hidden deep in the forest. The mist is a white ghost floating just above the ground. Spookily, a brown log has made its way to the moist river, acting as a bridge. Quite strangely, the whole place is as green as a green snapping crocodile.

Under this mysterious fog lives a creature so evil and dark it has never been seen before! Mossy rocks cover this scene and it will puzzle your eyes, they will be as puzzled as they’ve ever been before. This is an interesting place!

in film club miss squires asked the 6 children if they could look at 2 films called ‘ fox and the child’ ‘ matilda’ and i did and i sore lots of open spaces and some of them were (in the wild ) and nature + a massive playground and house !

After school, me and 5 other children are doing a film club. In the film club, we stick to a main task, which is to make a film that is 2 or 3 minutes long. We are doing exercises and building our way up! .Are location was around the table and are emotion was ‘annoyed’ . We gathered some props from around the class room .

After that we chose are actors and filmers , are actors were Lillia and Thomas and Ruth + are filmers were me, charlotte ,lydia .

Sitting down with the sheet we saw what we had to do,we had to act out 4 shots and they had to be 30 seconds long every time. We did not swop actors we just sick to it. Shot 1 was sitting at the table looking annoyed ( but not with the face ) moving your chairs , twiddling with your pencils for 30 seconds but every shot we had to do something a bit diffrent.

After that we all gathered round and talked about editing the film ‘meaning’ what does not quite fit in the film and what does. And see if the actors was showing with the things around them that they are very bored.

shot number 2 is mostly the same but the actors are mostly doing something completey diffrant. and the filmer is at another angle in the room.

Again, shot number three is like the 2 one but the filmer is crouched down and the actors are under the table.

it was about 4:00 and we asked questions to one another like : can we see ruth proply and does thomas look annoyed much??? and how could we all inprove ?? we all think we work as a very good team and we are very proud of what we have done!

in my apinon i think this club is very good , intresting , inmagineble . and we film all of this by using the new ipads we have in stock in school we are very happy and we love them !!!!!

Every Monday after school, 3:15 till 4:30 , me and five other kids do our own little film club. This is what we have been doing.

Firstly we read the task that had been set for us then we thought very carefully about the location and emotion until we decided what they were going to be. When we had thought about that we discussed what props we would need. Sensibly, we gathered up the props that we decided we would use and placed them in the location they would need to be in for our film. Together we talked about who would be the actors and who would film it then we put all ideas together and finally came up with our 3 shots. After that we began to film.

SHOT ONE

Me and Thomas were sat on a table doing boring maths work we were both acting annoyed. So we sighed, put our head in are hands and just sat there looking completely bored.

SHOT TWO

Still looking totally bored, i got up and just walked around but when the teacher (Ruth) noticed she came up to me and told me to sit back down, so i did as i was told. After i sat down she came over and looked at my work when she saw a blank page she shook her head and walked of.

SHOT THREE

On the final shot we were on question 2 accidentally /on purpose i dropped my pencil so i got out of my chair and started crawling under the table sadly when the teacher noticed she sure did tell me of.

When the filming was all done we sat down and watched what we had filmed.Once we watched them we talked about editing our work we asked questions like were the actors acting as well as they could? or could we see the teacher? so we thought about how we could improve and edit our work.

We all have to work in a group so we can’t just say well i am going to do my idea you have to tell each other your ideas so we can try to include them all. For the filming we use the ipads. Next week we will be filming open and closed spaces.
